After the VRChat, Inc. incident: what to do and your options

What should I do after getting the VRChat, Inc. data breach notice?
Keep the letter and the envelope, and note the date it arrived. Freeze your credit with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, change any passwords the notice mentions, and sign up for any free credit monitoring the letter offers. Then check whether you may have a claim.
Did VRChat, Inc. offer free credit monitoring?
Any free monitoring VRChat, Inc. is offering will be described in the notice you received, along with an activation code and a sign-up deadline. Using the free service won't stop you from joining a lawsuit or settlement later.
Can I sue VRChat, Inc. over the data breach?
It depends on what was exposed, the law in Maine and your own state, and whether you've been harmed. Most people take part through a class action rather than suing alone. Keep your notification letter — it's the proof that connects you to the breach.
Do I need a VRChat, Inc. data breach lawyer or attorney?

Is the VRChat, Inc. data breach letter legit or a scam?
A notice from VRChat, Inc. in the mail matches the breach VRChat, Inc. reported to the Maine Attorney General on June 10, 2026. Check that the company name and dates in your letter match that filing. A real notice of data security incident won't ask for your password, Social Security number or a payment — if it does, contact VRChat, Inc. through a phone number or website you find yourself.
How much could a VRChat, Inc. data breach settlement or claim be worth?
There is no set amount, and no VRChat, Inc. settlement is confirmed here.
